Thirteen Times the Strength

I am not the man I thought I was

I have tied a weight to my ankle bones

Now I take my wrongs to Davey Jones

And you can find a man with a better soul



I don't ever want to see a face like that

So I've left my clothes on the river bank

I don't want to face you with a heavy head

I've taken my body to the river bed



Sinking underwater

Fighting like a feather

Slipping underneath the world

This weight upon my shoulders

Crushing all my hopes

It's thirteen times the strength

Of anything I felt on earth



I am not the man I thought I was

Always let you down when you need me most

I am an American loading my gun

Pushing little children with plastic ones
